Police & Fire: July 31, 2013

Sault Police are investigating the apparent theft of a tandem trailer from a business establishment in the 900 block of E. Portage.

The 16-foot trailer sporting a wood deck and side rails was last seen on July 18 around 4 p.m. and its disappearance was not noted until sometime on Monday.

The trailer is valued at $2,800 and there are no suspects in this case.

Missing money

Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies are investigating a complaint from a local individual who found $355.21 had been taken from an account at a local financial institution.

Records show the money was moved from the local account to a charity based in London, England.

Deputies are believed to be forwarding this information to the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

Drive off

Chippewa County Sheriff Deputies also report a drive off at a local fueling station receiving information about the suspect’s vehicle and direction of travel.

Deputies located the owner of the suspect vehicle at a nearby eating establishment where the couple expressed the belief that they had paid for the fuel.

In reviewing their receipt, it became clear that they had not provided financial reimbursement and they readily agreed to return to the gas station to make amends allowing authorities to close the books on this matter with both parties seemingly satisfied with the resolution.
